<br />BSSPONSB: <br />CYCC will install two spoil aquifer monitor wells in the permit / <br />area. The installations are shown on Map 4a, Mine No. 3 Hydrology ~7~' <br />and discussed in Sahibit 15, Hydrologic Monitoring Plan. <br />7. Due to the potential for full saturation of the backfilled mine pits <br />near the toes of the pits, the applicant should instigate a monitoring <br />program to visually inspect the areas near the toes of the reclaimed mine <br />pits for evidence of springs or seeps emanating from the pits. If this <br />inspection program reveals the existence of springs or seeps, they should <br />be monitored for flow rate, duration of flow, and water quality <br />parameters in consultation with the Division. The visual inspection <br />program should be conducted on a monthly basis, except when snow-pack <br />cover prohibits it. All results of this inspection and monitoring <br />program should be included in the applicant's annual hydrologic reports <br />to the Division. <br />RSSPONSS: <br />CYCC proposes to monitor the water level in the spoil aquifers <br />of the Middle Creek Mine and Mine No. 3 through the use of spoil <br />monitor wells. The elevation of the water table in the spoils will <br />be compared to the elevation of the lowest point on the highwall to <br />determine the liklihood of groundwater seeping from, the pits. The <br />installation and monitoring of the apoil~ wells should eliminate the <br />need for a "visual inspection program"~ In the unlikely event that <br />springs or seeps do develop, the eater emanating from any such <br />features would be controlled by ditch P-1 a[ the Middle Creek Mine <br />-13- <br />
